Nice, good platform to start with. Id worry about fixing all the body imperfections before worrying about modding alot.
Very nice! I like that style of wheel, but what size are the tires? I like where you're going with it. Would love to see it with eyelids and paint matched door handles/outer mirrors.
love the rims on that red. looks real good.
Needing 2.3 oil pump stuff? PM me...
evil eyes and be done with the exterior. beautiful car excepts that dent,lol. great start
Fix the fender and front bumper. Once the body is straight and in good shape, I would get tires that are the correct size for the car, but definitely keep those wheels. Then just worry about suspension and power

yeah, those dents are recent
but as far as the bumper goes i just got back form the junkyard and priced up a 00 front gt bumper cover and i am thinking about getting that since mine either has to be fixed or replaced anyway. and those are the tires that were on the rims when i got it aha, i just threw them on there for now new tires are commin soon. and the rims are 17's

if I remember right, to run 17's on a J, the proper tire size is 215/45/17. Just for reference when you go to replace them. I don't think an 00 GT bumper would be a bad idea, if you get a good enough price on it!

225/45r17 lol and yeah i am getting the bumper for like 125 or something like that if i decide to get it.

Thanks for the correction. It has been a long time since I bought any size tire to fit a J. The last tire I priced out was a 26"X11.5" -15

You're off to a good start Colton!
My suggestions are:
- get the dents and other body work taken care of
- evil eyelids on the stock hood
- get rid of the "Sunfire GT" badges on the doors
- paint the door handles red
- paint the calipers and drums black
- get some clear front side markers
- definitely get the '00-'02 GT front bumper (best front bumper evar!)
- get some 225/45/17 tires
It's looking nice and clean so far. Keep it up. Best of luck.
